Gear returned in mint condition. If you're looking for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is a great value.

Gear returned in great condition, with only minor signs of use, such as slight scuffs or pick marks. It looks and plays like new and may be considered an equivalent to display units found in retail stores.

When I first bought a violin a few years ago I believed the "squeaking on a blackboard" sound was due to me being a rookie, which I am sure is partly true. I bought a better bow from another retailer some months later, and though it was a little better, it wasn't much better. Realizing I would have to pay more for something nice, I spent the $140 plus on this and it made a world of difference. This bow is light but sturdy and yes, a nice bow can and does make one's playing improve greatly. True, a virtuoso can use a toy and make it sound good, but this bow is definitely recommended for the advanced beginner. I have over thirty years experience on guitar with a little familiarity of mandolin, and since violin and mandolin use the same tuning albeit an octave apart, once you know the tuning it's attainable. The sound is rich and full, even on a cheaper instrument, making the hours of practice worth it. I have no regrets buying this particular bow.
